The Great O's

Very quickly, I have found the most beautiful reflection upon the Great O Advent antiphons and the readings for Sundays by Ian at Nobis Quoque Peccatoribus.

A short excerpt:

"The whole of the history of salvation grew as it approached the Nativity, now in a sense we've rounded the turn and are on the home stretch. All things came from God, and back to Him we are headed, so, in a sense the story is headed backward. Our Lord came, and now we are looking at a future Paradise with God, which is really no different from that first Paradise Our first parents enjoyed before the fall. Time heads forward, but the story goes backward."
